any blue dorito shoppers able to successfully bypass orange man tax? i'm thinking using middleman service like buyee or zenmarket could work, anyone know?

Good fucking luck if you find anything. They affect everything now.
I hope it doesn't fuck with my goodsmile shipments, but I know future orders will force me to pay more than ever. I've given up on buying any official hololive merch period since it would just cost me hundreds in shipping.

Yeah a while ago I got a message from goodsmile that all future orders will have to pay extra for shipping, and that they'd tell me in advance if any past orders would have their prices changed, which would give me the option to cancel within a short period.
I mostly buy fan merch now. Individual artist merch usually ends up being reasonable for shipping, and anyone domestic will probably cost slightly more than they used to, but it's better than buying from overseas.

Does your goods have to be imported into America from outside of it? Yes? Then you have to pay the orange man tax.

How do you think a middleman would work?

in the past, my middleman packages didn't specify items were manufactured in china and qualified for de minimis exemption

buy things that matter instead of plastic garbage destined for landfill

You should be grateful. The orange tariffs are what postponed some more Holo graduations.

or literally anywhere else that's not the us of a

Yeah how unfortunate that we aren't losing Bae and Kiara soon enough

At least flights to Japan are cheaper than they used to be. I'll probably just pick up my merch on location for the foreseeable future.

>orange man
>bring up an aus and an aussie

I sent my recent preorder to a middleman, hoping it works out. Even if I do get hit by orange tax it’ll still be less than paying sales tax + tariffs straight from the online store.

I have to wonder if you think evading taxes for something so small is even a good idea.

>>101776715
I use zenmarket a lot and I haven't had to pay the troomp toll so far
